The Angel of the Annunciation

Martin Schongauer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a standing angel with curly hair and a crown of leaves on their head. The angel has large wings on their back and is wearing a long robe. Their left hand holds a staff with a ribbon wrapped around it, and their right hand is raised with the palm facing outwards. The background is plain. The image is in shades of gray. The overall style of the image suggests it is an old engraving, likely from the Northern Renaissance period.
